Production order says Felix is after Chat Blanc, making Ladybug the last episode before the finale.

That would fit with the projected airing schedule here I think...up to the finale which should be next week here by the looks. I am going to just wait till it airs since it's so close, as it's less hassle than hunting it up online.

I really liked this one.  Adrien is really nice to let Marinette keep sleeping on his shoulder.  It's interesting that the akuma was still able to akumatize someone without Hawkmoth being able to communicate with that person due to the akuma being too far away. I like that Gabriel was worried about Adrien's safety once he found out he was on the train and that he admitted he would have to count on Ladybug and Cat Noir to save Adrien. 

Felix

Spoiler

Felix is terrible. I agree with Taffeta that he might be the Hawkmoth of the future.  Why does Felix want the wedding rings? Is it only because his mother wanted them?

Am I the only one that thought it was a little weird that Gabriel opened Emelie's casket to put her wedding ring on her hand? I know she's in a coma/deep sleep and not really dead but still...

It was nice to see Nathalie trying to protect Adrien.

I rewatched the Christmas special today. I wish US iTunes had the soundtrack.

I think I might have watched Gamer 2.0 originally in French with English subs but I recently watched the English dub and enjoyed the episode more than I did the first time.

I still need to catch up on some of the other Season 3 episodes.

Did you guys see the art figure they're going to make? It's Soo pretty.
It's a shame that disaster of a finale sort of quelled my excitement.

[Ponyfan]

It was just announced that the rest of Season 3 will be on  US Netflix on Feb 1st

I’m still a little worried about the season finale though.

I mean, a lot of people who didn't like it are people like me who indulged in fan content, so perhaps you might like it if you're more of a casual fan.  It just sort of blew a hole in our Fanon is all.
Apparently SAMG studios will no longer be animating. Here's a video that shows the three different animation studios thus far if you wanted a comparison. There's been no announcement as to whether another studio will take their place.

I tried reading a few ML fanfictions but a lot of them were either episode rewrites that ended in CN finding out Marinette is Ladybug or Hawkmoth tells CN that he knows he's Adrien.


That was a really interesting video about the animation differences. There's one episode on Netflix where the Lucky Charm animation slows down to a crawl and it almost seems like it's going frame by frame instead of several frames per second. All the other episodes Lucky Charm animation is much smoother although I figure that the repeated sequences were only animated once and just reused for every episode that is needed unless a new animation sequence is needed.

Disney in the UK aired all of season 3 before Christmas, and I cheated and skipped to the end of the finale because I was concerned too.

Let's just say I'm not watching any more MLB until they resolve that finale.

Casual fan who hasn't read any fanfic or material or done anything like that. I'm not extremely obsessed with it. I just don't like the finale, so if that's how things are going from now on, I'm done.

This makes me worry about the finale. I've already felt there are pieces missing in the overall plot but assumed it was due to the Season 3 episodes being out of order. I have to say though out all the episodes so far I think Season 3 has the most episodes that I dislike. It hasn't been too many but "Chris Master" and "Silencer" are not rewatchable for me and "Chat Blanc" was disappointing. 

To watch the finale now or wait until I've watched the rest of Season 3, that is the question...

I think the out of sequence thing is a problem since even though I watched them according to the online lists and stuff they don't make sense in that order. It's hard to know what connects to what and something spoilers something else.

Frankly though my reasoning for not wanting to continue are quite superficial, but it's also the case that I will return to it if they resolve the thing I don't like. But I don't want to waste time being frustrated and it's true Chat Blanc is both a great and a frustrating episode leading up to the finale.

Even though I love that Tomoe Gozen got a mention/reference in this series too, I don't like how Ikari Gozen was rendered as an akumatised person, I feel like it abandoned the opportunity to make it bushi-esque in order to go modern and robotish instead and since they went to the trouble of making the reference, they should have carried it through the whole way.

There are some eps in this series that seem irrelevant as well. But that's just me. Like Stormy Weather II.

...I also can't stand Lila.

Spoiler

Although I no longer believe she's the future HM given other information.

I noticed that  some countries aren´t receiving the new figures: multimouse, Lady Noir... On Ebay its Russia that has all the characters. Why the lack of distribution?

[Ponyfan]

The rest of Season 3 is on Netflix. I decided I will watch the rest of the Season 3 episodes before I watch the finale.

I watched Feast and Kwamii Buster

Kwamii Buster

Spoiler

Was the Mouse Miraculous featured in a previous episode? I don't understand how Marinette was able to use the Mouse to become Multimouse if that was the first time she used it or how she could have known that she could combine powers using the Mouse.   

Feast

Spoiler

I always find it interesting when we see Nathalie showing the negative effects of using the damaged Peacock Miraculous. I felt bad for Adrien in this episode when he said Emelie had dizzy spells before she "disappeared" and  Adrien is worried now about Nathalie showing the same symptoms.  I did enjoy seeing Gabriel worried about Nathalie when she suddenly transformed back to normal after Feast was defeated. I haven't seen all of the Season 3 episodes yet but it still feels like a piece is missing about Gabriel's feelings on Nathalie using the Peacock.
